Book Description
300 pages of updated and revised text of vital reading for everyone leading and working with groups in the outdoors. The first edition of "Leading and Managing Groups in the Outdoors" established itself as a classic text for those seeking to work with others in the outdoors - Mountain Leader Training England. Key topics covered include: Aims and Values, Personal Experience, Ideas about Leaders and Leadership, Leadership Models and Styles, Leader Awareness, Attitudes and Approaches, Management of Risk, Leadership and Management Skills. With wonderful and humorous cartoon illustrations by Lyn Noble In the early 1990s, after four children died in a canoeing accident in Lyme Bay off the Dorset coast, a working committee was set up by the government to report on the incident and to suggest guidelines for such expeditions. One of the books the committee was advised!
to read was Leading and Managing Groups in the Outdoors which reflects over 50 years of the author’s in-depth knowledge and professional expertise in the outdoors. This first-hand experience ensures the authenticity and reliability of a manual for anyone who takes groups climbing or canoeing, sailing or skiing, caving or hillwalking. The task of the leader is one of responsible supervision, a task that cannot be assumed lightly and a task that involves learning a set of essential skills. This book is packed with sound advice and helpful counsel. From aims and values and the vital fundamental of personal experience, the narrative moves on to discuss leadership models and styles, leader awareness and attitudes, and a range of skills from planning and checking to managing risks and solving problems. Balancing down-to-earth guidance with wisdom that at times verges on the philosophical, this thoroughly practical handbook is well structured and purposefully presented. Its readership is clearly targeted. If those men and women in charge of groups absorbed and acted on the principles and programmes described within, there would be fewer accidents and the response and enjoyment of the participants would be greatly enhanced by having competent and caring leaders. Very amusingly illustrated, this book is primarily concerned with the ‘people skills’ of outdoor leadership. It is neither a handbook on safety or technique, nor a lyrical account of the spirit of the hills and their natural history. But leaders, whether humble or conceited, autocratic or democratic, will find much to learn from it.
